Teo edit

Hey Cierra, I'm going to remove your message from my user page, since it belongs on my user:talk page. anyway, if you go to Sneha's user page (not talk), you can click the little heart on the upper right side and send some wikiLove. :) Poetries (talk) 19:40, 17 October 2014 (UTC)Reply


Hi! edit

 

Hey Cierra! Thanks for saying hi, and I'm glad you're excited about editing Wikipedia. Here's some kimchi for you!

When you write on talk page, remember to always sign off with your name with four tildes (~~~~) so it's easy for people to see who wrote the message when. Don't worry though, a bot came by and signed your name for you this time around. :) Let me know if you have any questions! SnehaNar (talk) 21:52, 17 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Notability edit

There are two issues - one is establishing notability, the other is finding adequate sources. In terms of notability, can has the restaurant been covered by sources that are independent of it? Reviews would be appropriate, but they need to come from sources that are themselves notable. A major newspaper would be a great source; a campus newspaper might be OK; a local free publication might be OK; a local blog that does restaurant reviews might not be a good enough source. A few top-notch sources would be better than a whole lot of iffy sources at establishing notability, but if you can't get quality, then quantity says something about notability.

So that's the first problem - establishing notability. If you're confident that the restaurant is notable, then comes the problem of sourcing content. For uncontroversial information, or information you could use the restaurant's website as a source. Opening hours. The type of food it serves. Who owns it. Ideally you'd get that sort of information from reviews, but sometimes there's relevant information that you can't find elsewhere, and the restaurant itself is a better source than a blog by someone unknown. Just be clear that you're reporting what they say about themselves.

The most problematic source, from a Wikipedia standpoint, is actually in-person reporting. You can go and take pictures. That's great. But reporting your own observations isn't. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:29, 21 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Excited to work together edit

Hi, Cierra! Excited to work together with our group on the Oceanique article! Didn't know you love languages--so do I! I speak Italian, Spanish (probably out of practice compared to you if you're taking classes these days), French, and used to be pretty proficient in Mandarin.

File permission problem with File:Mark Grosz.png edit

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Class Today edit

Hey Cierra, I'm feeling a bit under the weather and don't think I'm going to make it to class today. Would you let the rest of the team know? :( I'll still be online on Wikipedia working on the page, formatting citations. After all Wikipedia is all about distributed collaboration. Shoot me an email if something comes up. asduner (talk) 19:35, 14 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
